What supp's do y'all use?

I'm pretty set on Jack3D for Pre. and Cytosport chocolate whey after.


Tried Napalm/pre and it wasn't for me. Havent really tried to venture out.. all this stuff cost to much to buy just to see if you'll like it. and jack3d has been great.

- Mon Mar 12, 2012 4:22 pm #297923 Today was my first day back at the gym in so long

But before then ive been eating small meals, mainly rice with whatever I can think off, so I shred off a bit of weight, 3-4kgs

Today I done arms, chest, and shoulders, 30 reps on each part on the heaviest possible weight I could lift, then I done 10 minutes on the x trainer

I need to pick up my game though

- Mon Mar 12, 2012 5:42 pm #297930 I dont really take supplements, my roommate recently started working out and has gained 15lb in a month and a half using stuff he got from walmart.

I used to have a routine but hurt my shoulder two weeks ago playing ball so all ive been able to lift is my legs which isnt bad since when i got back to playing ball i'll be jumping like this

I was going to my friends apartment and using her gym because it's amazing and no one hardly goes in there but I haven't gone lately because she's lazy. I've been trying to get her into going with me but she makes excuses -_- So back to working out at home lol.

Don't start off running, just walk. You should walk first thing in the morning if possible before eating. Do a few miles or 45 minutes 1-2 times a day if possible. (If it becomes too much on your legs at first then just do it once a day to begin with and remember to take a day off when needed)

If you have a pool at your gym or know someone who does then swim at night after you have had dinner. If you can't get to a pool, no worries.

Now to lifting, since you haven't done it in a while you will be very sore in the beginning, but don't let that discourage you. Just push through it. I would go with a 2-3 day split. The only way you build muscle is with REST. So..... Monday could be Chest and Triceps, Wednesday Back and Biceps, Friday you can work your legs. Sunday repeat. So it won't be a perfect schedule because it will require you to go to the gym on different days every week, but it works. Also, remember to work abs during every workout session.

For supplements, if you can afford protein get some Gold Standard Whey Protein. Don't go to GNC unless you have a Gold Card go to Bodybuilding.com to purchase it. Also, drink LOTS of water, around a gallon a day.

yea i was reading on bodybuilding.com that u have to loose most of the weight before using the weights. after loosing all the fat u have to start to tighten up the loose skin, im not looking into bulking up im looking into getting lean an toned.

so what kind of weights do i start using to start defining muscle and gain a lil not to bulk but just to be in the 180lb range with look cut?

- Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:25 pm #309162 Well remember that you have to diet and eat clean as well 6 meals a day.

You don't have to wait to start lifting. You will be burning fat and putting on muscle while you are lifting.

You can lift as heavy as you want just make sure you can do 8-15 reps every set with the weight you use. For your legs you can do upwards to 20 reps a set.

Also, to get that cut look you need to have a low body fat %. Around 8-10 percent is where you want to be for that cut look.

Unless you're Isolating each body part very well, then I would say lifting everyday is not good.

Working out everyday is too hard on your body. You might not feel like it is, but you will start plateauing if you continue this. That's why you take days off in between, you give your muscles time to heal.
